Use an attribute to create X instances of a BO

tford

I have an attribute TicketBuyer.Nbr_Tickets that I would like to use to then have a rule create X number of Ticket instances based on the value to TicketBuyer.Nbr_Tickets.

Having a brain lock. How would you do this?

CREATE Ticket FOR EACH NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND TicketBuyer.Nbr_Tickets

with a slight refinement (assuming you want the tickets individually numbering)

CREATE Ticket FOR EACH NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND TicketBuyer.Nbr_Tickets WITH Ticket.number = system setting.TicketSequenceNumber
RULE IN Ticket
IF Ticket IS NEW INCREASE systemsetting.TicketSequenceNumber by 1

Thanks much guys! Can't believe I've never had to do that in the time I've been an AwareIM user.

Rocketman - I used the auto-increment feature for the ticket number so I don't have to manage that with a rule.
